So I read around 25% of the list... I guess not bad for a contemporary romance junkie :D Oh, and there's one more SEP I read in this list, but I have no idea which one, can't remember the title. Actually, scratch that, I just remembered... This Heart of Mine, thanks to the gals from Sanctuary's Finest :) Kevin Tucker being the male of the week :P However, I think that whoever compiled that list is a bit biaised.
